# Configuring Portable Interfaces

The Edit | Preferences | Machine Interface Setup menu option opens the Machine Options dialog box with the specific settings for your portable device. Machine options are only available when you work in Online mode.

In most cases, you shouldn't change any of the values in this dialog box. Some items in this dialog box, such as the Mechanical Offsets area, permanently overwrite values stored for your machine on the controller's hard drive. For questions on how and when to use the Machine Options dialog box, you should contact your local service representative.

The parameters in the Machine Options dialog box are discussed for the following machine interfaces:

- Romer arm

- Leica Tracker

- Faro arm

- SMX Tracker

- Total Station

For information on the other machine interfaces that PC-DMIS supports, see the "Setting Up the Machine Interface" topic in the "Setting Your Preferences" chapter in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.
